1.

Come, children, kindly gather Round this form belov'd, Whence so soon our heav'nly Father Hath the soul remov'd. Soul, leave the bod-y mor-tal Safe with us at rest, Pass beyond the golden portal To thy Saviour's breast. [

CHORUS.

Bright angels, happy spirits, Watch with star-like eyes O'er the spot whence at Christ's summons His beloved shall rise.

2. Eyes full of love and gladness,
Quiet now in sleep,

Closed on all our sin and sadness,
Never more to weep-
Unclose now with bliss amazing

In the realms of peace;
Burst to sight, with rapture gazing
On the Saviour's face.-CHO.
3. Hark, 'mid the radiant dawning,
Where night comes no more,
Sweet-toned bells of Sabbath morning
Sound from that far shore.
Lo, cherub forms that hover,
Bearing thee away;

So farewell, thy night is over,
Lost in endless day:-CHO.

2. To God for our armor we 'll fail not to go,

He'll clothe us with truth and with righteousness too;
The "gospel of peace" shall our footsteps attend,
And the good "shield of faith" from all harm shall
defend.-CHO.

3. Salvation our helmet, the Bible our sword,

Though wily our foes, we are "strong in the Lord;"

While watching and praying our armor keeps bright,
Our Jesus will help us to stand for the right.-CHO.

4. Though little temptations--the worst ones of all-
Will often beset us to make us to fall,
We'll stand up for Jesus, and when life is o'er,
For us he'll be standing on Jordan's bright shore.
CHо. Then stand up for Jesus, etc.
